Eating Disorders Therapists in San Francisco, CA 94109

"Feelings and thoughts, at times, may be difficult to manage. Anxiety, depression, painful entanglements, behavioral issues, and the lingering effects of damaging experiences can exhaust us. They may also interfere with relationships and affect behaviors. Finding meaning in difficult emotions and life events can be very helpful. My hope is to provide understanding and insight that creates a safe relationship and develops a sensible model for people to discover potentially destructive patterns, what really matters to them, and how one can live a more creative, flexible, and full life."

"If you've been in therapy before and had a not-so-great experience, chances are you'll fare better with me. I can't guarantee this, but I say it confidently because I'm very good at adapting how I work to each client's needs and abilities - especially in the early going."

"I believe that the authentic client-therapist relationship and our innate ability to heal are forceful powers for change. I would like our work to feel meaningful to you. We will work together to come to new understandings about your emotions, behaviors and experiences. The goal is not only to make changes in your behaviors, or to make peace through acceptance, but to gain insight into your personal system of meaning, underlying issues of your symptoms and in your relationship to self, body, food and community."

"I see therapy as an adventure with one's self. My strength as a therapist is to help you take personal risks in order both to discover and to become a whole person. We all need support and empathy to become who we are meant to be. Therapy should be a comfortable environment where your own wisdom is respected and built upon. The goal is to integrate your body, mind, and spirit. Adult ADD, support for psych med withdrawal, and GLBT issues are a specialty, but all are very welcome."

"Are you here because you're having a "dark night of the soul" and feeling hopeless? Or do you want to change a relationship pattern that keeps repeating no matter how much you try? Perhaps you want to transform your low self-esteem and FINALLY believe in yourself...You know that something has to change, but what and how? You have most likely thought yourself in circles around the problem, but you cannot think your way out of this one. Does all that thinking send you spiraling out and anxious, your inner-critic having a field day?"

"I work with individuals and couples struggling with unhealthy recurrent patterns within themselves and in relationships. I believe therapy can be a powerful opportunity for people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and make meaning of their past experiences. Being stuck with deep seated patterns often continue to cause us pain and suffering and my hope is to be able to create a safe warm environment for people to explore what aspects of their past may be getting in the way of their present and future. I work in a collaborative fashion, hoping to help people find their truth."

"The decision to start psychotherapy is significant as it often means that you are suffering in some way or you've realized that what you've been doing is no longer working, and you are seeking change in your life.
My approach is collaborative, warm, and challenging. I work psychodynamically, and also focus on the integration of the mind and body. I believe change occurs through the expression of emotions, addressing how the past impacts your current experiences, and exploring interpersonal relationships, including the relationship between the patient and therapist."

"I specialize in working with you in times of change: wanted or unwanted; stuck or struck; milestones or the weight of the world; career shifts or dead-end jobs; becoming parents or finding out you're a parent; un-coupling or committing; wits-end or letting go or starting again... By looking at your relationship to yourself and others through your habits, patterns, survival skills, and super powers, we find their purpose. Next we acknowledge and honor them, add compassion and respect which builds your self esteem. Then we invite unhelpful habits to leave, and stay with whatever happens."

"It often feels that if one area of your life is going well, another takes a nose dive. My clients are determined, successful and focused but still, something is not aligned. Many of those I work with feel they are growing at work, but their personal lives are unfulfilling. Or perhaps relationships feel strong but it feels impossible to manage work and love. I help my clients determine where they want to go and who they want to be. I can help you explore your decisions, the reasons behind them and then make sense of it all. We can work together to identify stressful feelings, increase insight and strengthen relationships."

"Much like a process of sharing, therapist and client together learn to pay close attention to aspects of yourself that you may be unable to touch on your own. One approach to understanding our behavior is to gain awareness of our unconscious drives and desires through our dreams."

"In pain and struggle are also resilience, strength and even opportunity. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship is an act of courage and hope that can lead to relief and lasting change. You may be experiencing loneliness, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, loss, creative blocks or the effects of trauma and oppression. Maybe you are just not where you would like to be in your life. Therapy can help to create a more fulfilling life in part by deepening self knowledge, increasing resilience and mitigating the effects of early life experiences."
